Memorial Day Weekend marks the unofficial start of summer—and there’s no better way to enjoy it than on the water. Whether you're a visitor or local, San Diego's sparkling harbor offers the perfect setting to relax, recharge, and celebrate the long weekend.
At Flagship Cruises & Events, we honor Memorial Day with experiences that combine natural beauty, local flavor, and moments to remember. Whether you're craving high-speed thrills, sunset views, or a peaceful cruise across the bay, there’s something for everyone aboard.
5 Ways to Spend Memorial Day Weekend with Flagship
1. Soak In the Views on a Harbor Tour
Our most popular cruise is a must for locals and visitors alike. Learn about San Diego’s history, wildlife, and landmarks while taking in 360-degree views of the bay. Choose the two-hour Full Bay Tour for the best experience.
2. Feel the Rush on the Patriot Jet Boat
This isn’t your typical sightseeing cruise. The Patriot Jet Boat delivers high-speed excitement with hairpin turns, ocean spray, and unforgettable energy. Memorial Day Weekend kicks off our daily summer ride schedule—perfect for thrill-seekers!
3. Hop Over to Coronado
The Flagship Ferry is a scenic, historic, and budget-friendly way to get across the bay. Ride from downtown San Diego to Coronado Ferry Landing and explore shops, restaurants, and waterfront views.
4. Dine on the Water
From Champagne Brunch Cruises to elegant Sunset Dinners, our dining cruises combine chef-prepared meals with a front-row seat to the bay. Bring your drink to the observation deck and enjoy panoramic views while you dine and unwind.
